William D. Lucey is a singer, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist best known for being a member and key songwriter for Irish pop band Rubyhorse, formed in 1987 with schoolmates Dave Farrell, Owen Fegan, Joe Philpott, and Gordon Ashe.[1] As Leftbank, he collaborated with Gordon Ashe on drums and percussion, with guests including Dave Palmer, Kristin Cifelli and Andrew Rooney, Dave Farrell and Stephan Ripke, to record Why Can't Man Be More Like Animals? (2011).
William was raised in County Cork, Ireland, and served as primary songwriter and bass player in Rubyhorse from 1988–2005, moving with the band to the US in 1997. When the band broke up following the release of Goodbye to All That in 2005, he settled in Massachusetts with his young family, until moving back to Ireland in 2014. After the breakup of Rubyhorse, William built a studio which he named Milk Row Cemetery and began writing music for solo projects, along with contributing music to several indie films including On Broadway and a soon-to-be released Second World War documentary. He also wrote music for the Frontline current affairs show. As a producer, he has worked with artists including Mick Flannery and Jeremy Lyons.
Why Can't Man Be More Like Animals takes its name from a Pink Panther episode entitled Sink Pink.
